Title: Improvements in Telautographs and Methods of Telautographic Transmission.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1901-02-19
Granted: 1901-03-23
Abstract: 3570. Newton, P. A., [Gray National Telautograph Co.]. Feb. 19, Telegraphs.-Autographic telegraphs are arranged so that variable currents due to the motion of two arms 2, 3 are sent to the lines a<2>, b<1> by means of variable shunts I, I' over which the trailers 15 move, the shunts being connected across the terminals of the battery H. The shunts may be in the form of carbon sectors or divided rings, a highresistance coil with a bared periphery, or a motor. At the receiving station the motions are reconverted by means of the action of the currents on floating coils F, F<1> in strong magnetic fields produced by the magnets J, J<1>, J<2>, the yoke, and extended pole-piece L. Fig. 1 shows the transmitter, and Fig. 2 the receiver. The arms 2 and 3 are provided with cords 6 by which the arms 12 and contacts 15 are rotated. The line connection of the arm 2 is through the secondary of the coil N. In a modified form, both arms are connected through two separate secondaries on the coil N. The switch D is in the normal signalling position, but can be moved into the middle or reverse position for shifting the paper and for other purposes. The table A is arranged to close a vibrator circuit through the primary of the coil N, whilst signalling for the purpose of releasing the recording-pen C, Fig. 2. Modified arrangements of this circuit are described in which continuous vibrating currents are sent, but during transmission the currents are stronger owing to a resistance being short-circuited by the motion of the table A. In another modification, the shunt circuit is through the arms 2 and 3, the circuit being broken by the act of transmitting. Fig. 2 shows the reseiving-apparatus. The line a<2> is connected through the vibrating- magnet P to the coil F, and the line b<1> is connected through the polarized relay S to the coil F<1>. The armature of the relay S normally contacts with stop m<3>, but, when a reverse current is sent, owing to the operation of the switch D, Fig. 1, the paper feed magnet R is operated. 0 is the pen lifter magnet, which under the action of the vibrating currents is so weakened that the pen is lowered on to the paper. T is a vibrator which acts on the supports of the sliding rods 9 and 10. On the completion of a message, the arms are returned to the unison position by the springs 18, and the pen C rests in the ink-well. The pen is preferably formed of a slotted pointed cylinder having an axial chamber for holding ink. The well is attached to one of the paper guides, and is set in a vertical position. A lower perforation, normally closed by the pen, allows a small amount of air to enter when the pen is withdrawn. A drip well and guide are also provided.

Abstract: 3847. Strauss, K. Feb. 22. See-saws.-Relates to a coin-freed see-saw or rocking gymnastic apparatus having a device for controlling the period during which the apparatus can be used. The rocking beam 2, preferably of #-iron, is mounted on a pivot 3, and carries handles 5 and pivoted seats 4 kept horizontal by a rod 49, mounted on a pivot 50, and forked levers 51. The pivot 3 carries an arm 40 connected by a link 41 to an operating-lever 6, loose on a shaft 7 carrying a grooved wheel 8 engaged by two eccentric sectors 9, 10 pivoted to the lever 6 and frame. At the end of each rotation of the wheel 8, the apparatus is locked by a pusher 11 pressed by a spring 12 into engagement with recesses in the wheel 8 and a sector 20 fixed to the beam 2. The pusher 11 is held outwards by a pivoted plate 13 engaging a recess 26 and having a projection riding on the wheel 8 and raised by a projection before the recess in the wheel comes opposite the pusher. To prevent too sudden looking of the beam 2, a braking-device may be provided, and may consist of a notched and slotted sector connected by springs and pins to the sector 20. Separate pushers may be used to block the wheel 8 and the sector 20, which may be replaced by an arm. Ratchet-wheels and spring pawls may be used instead of the wheel 8 and sectors 9 and 10. Coin action; coin-discharging mechanism; delivery mechanism.-The locking-pusher 11 is released by a rod 17 connected to it by an arm 15 pivoted at 14. The coin-freed mechanism by which the rod 17 is allowed to be operated may consist of a shoot 27 which leads the coin 28 into a box 29 carried by a locking-lever 31 having a nose 32 pressed by a spring 33 into engagement with a recess 34 in a spring-withdrawn pusher 22. When the pusher is pulled, a plate 35 on it presses the coin against, and releases, the locking-lever 31, and on further displacement the coin rolls downwards. The pusher 22 carries a fork 23 to engage a pin 24 on the rod 17, and delivers a packet from the column 46.

Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 11,069. Weispfennig, W., Waelke, H., and Pfannschmidt, E. May 29. Sewing - needles.-Consists of a machine for automatically punching the eyes, severing the blanks, and grinding off the burrs. Two parallel feed-screws 3 carry the unsevered pairs of needles under the punch 6, and cutter 7. The separated needles are then delivered by means of two pairs of toothed discs 21 on to carriers 8, which rotate them over a grindstone. The pairs of needles are guided while on the screws 3 by a knife-edge 14, Fig. 6, which engages the web uniting each pair, and which is continued in the die and terminates in the block co-operating with the cutter 7. Below the punch 6 the screws 3 are interrupted, and the needles are fed on to the die and passed on to the continuation of the screw-thread, by a reciprocating finger 16 shaped as shown in Fig. 5. An arm 42, rigidly connected with the finger 16, engages a ratchetwheel 47, by which means the finger 16 is lifted on the return stroke. Each carrier 8 consists of a toothed disc concentric with and secured to a plain rubber-edged disc, the surface of which is somewhat further from the centre of rotation than the bottoms of the depressions in the toothed disc. A pressing-block 26 retains the needles in the depressions. The axes of the two carriers 8 are not exactly in line, but would, if produced, meet at an angle slightly less than 180‹ ; the effect of this is to direct the heads of the needles properly against the grindstone. The grindstone shaft runs through the carrier shafts, and is adjustable.
